1929_1025 ---------- Northwest Viking - 1929 October 25 - Page 1 ---------- VOL. XXIX—NO. 16 WASHINGTON STATE NORMAL SCHOOL, BELLINGHAM, WASHINGTON .Friday; Oct. ,2^j929!ii fMI • lit MORONI OLSEN PLAYERS THE PATRIOT CLASS TIE-UP YE DIARY —Roy Sundstrom We're very short of copy for the bloomin column this week—but, with the aid of the Seattle PA. end the Moroni Olsen Players, perhaps we'll be able to make out. W. S. N. S. The Moroni Olsen presentation of "The Twelve Thousand" was given last night. We will say t h a t it was a splendid performance, gripping the audience with the first line and sending them away to talk about it i o r days (the play, not the first line). The Moroni Olsen Players liave been here before. W. S. N. S.— A new slant on a n old subject (clipped from the P.-I.): "A brand of patriotism so keen t h a t it amounted to an obsession prompted the leasing of the Elk Hills Naval Oils Reserve back in 1921, Frank J. Hogan, chief defense attorney, told the jury today as he summed up his case in the Fall bribery trial. Hogan figuratively draped the Stars and Stripes over the shoulders of former Secretary of Interior Albert B. Fall and E. L. Doheney, the oil magnate,'as he exhorted the jurors to acquit Fall of the charge of having accepted a $100,000 bribe from Doheney. W. S. N. S. The committee in charge of the proposed inter-class tie-up is having hard sledding. More than, enough freshmen have volunteered, but the sophs are strangely lacking in enthusiasm.' It's too bad, too. We need more affairs of. this sort to make the new crop of ex-high school students feel at home here. W. S. N. S. — We asked the Coach for the newest news about football today. He tells us t h a t the Vikings won a game from St. Martin's last Saturday, and that they're going to Cheney this week—it makes things more interesting when one has the inside dope like this. W. S. N. S. Borrowed from Brisbane, to save Writing it up myself: " A thirty-two-year-old Montana cattle man, W . F. Diteman, Jr., was lost on his way across the ocean from Harborr Grace to London. He said nothing about his trip until he started yesterday, leaving a note for the airport officials, and taking 165 gallons of gasoline". W. S. N. S.

TWO CASH CONTESTS OFFERED SEVENTY DOLLARS Song Contest Starts Anew Under New Management,, According to Board of Control Appointment. SONG NEED IS URGENT Contest Is Open to All Students and Alumni of Normal. Several Songs Already Turned In. Edith Dyer was appointed by Lyle Summers this week to carry on the work of the school song contest begun last term, and to obtain words for a new Viking song to replace the songs now in use at assemblies and pep meetings. Because the need for such a song has become so urgent, the Board of Control voted a total of seventy dollars to be awarded to the student and alumni who compose, original words and melodies in keeping with the spirit and tradition of the school. That it is possible to obtain beautiful compositions from the student body effort has been proven by many other institution, and the board considered the award of forty dollars for first prize, only just compensation for a really good song. Miss Dyer, in conjunction with other members of the song committee, will begin work Monday in bringing the first section of the contest to a close, and to obtain, before the end of November, words from those people. wanting to submit verses that will be set to music by other students. Commenting on the work of the (Continued on Page Two) PLAY WELL RECEIVED "Twelve Thousand" Presented by Moroni Olsen Piayers; Is Based Upon Effects of Revolution. The American revolution and its effect upon two other great, emerging powers of the time, and the first faint challenge to the doctrine of divine right of kings in its greatest stronghold, a German grand duchy, are drawn with vigorous simplicity in the setting of a summer palace pavillion in an obscure German state, in "Twelve Thousand", which was presented last night in the Normal auditorium, by the'Moroni Olsen players. This play opened the seventh season of the First Circuit Repertory company of the Moroni Olsen Players here, under the auspices of the Normal. One Woman in Cast Seven men and one woman were included in the cast last night, Janet Young taking the sole feminine role of the Baroness Spangenburg, the latest fancy of the dissolate German prince. She played her part with unusual talent. Moroni Olsen, who took the part of Piderit, the prince's confidential secretary, despised by the Baroness at first, and honored when she finds how he has made use of her sealed letter to Prussia to save his countrymen from their king's betrayal, sincerely played the role with all the characteristic Olsen talent. The prince was played by Addison Richards, while Joseph Williams took the part of the Prussian colonel. All the players were superb, showing exceptional dramatic talent. Well Received The play was received by a large crowd of delighted play-goers who gave the players an enthusiastic r e ception. Two other plays will complete the 1929-30 season. They are "The Makropoulos Secret" and "White Wings" by Karel Capek and Philip Barry respectively: Karel Capek, it will be remembered, was t he author of the super-drama, "R. U. R.", givT eh by the Normal Drama club. last quarter. . • Meet Former Student Gets Position as Librarian Mr. Herbert E. Fowler, chairman of the English department, recently received a letter from George Al-lez, former president of the Associated Students here. After leaving Bellingham, Mr. Al-lez attended the library school at the University of Washington then at Columbia. He is now librarian at the State Normal School at Stevens Point, Wisconsin. Praises Viking To Mr. Fowler he wrote, "I am sending you a copy of our little school paper. It is not so ambitious as the Northwest Viking, but it has promise". o W, E. A. ASSEMBLY IS HELD IN SEATTLE Total Attendance of About 6000 Includes Many Local Teachers; Famous Speakers Will Entertain. The forty-third annual conclave of Western Washington teachers is now being held in Seattle, October 24 and 25. Nearly all teachers from this section are attending with a total attendance of about 6,000. "Wider Public Participation in the Public School Program" is the general topic discussed at the convention. Dr. C. H. Judd, University of Chicago, and Dr. C. A. Prosser, Dunwoody Institute, are to deliver addresses each day as the principal speakers. Governor to Speak Other speakers are Mayor Frank E. Edwards, Governor Hartley,' and Bertha K. Landes. Meetings of the different departments are to be held during the afternoon. Williams President Pelagius Williams, chairman of the local Social Science department is president of this section at the convention, while Miss Nora B. Cummins is vice-president. Miss Cummins will deliver an address, "International Relations in a Social Science Curriculum", at a luncheon of this group, while Dr. H. H. Gowen of the University of Washington will talk on "Chinese Problems". Alumni Reunion A reunion dinner for alumni of Bellingham Normal will be held Thursday evening. Exhibits and industrial trips are also offered at the convention. Many Famous Musicians Booked for Artist Course; Schedule Announced Bookings for the annual fall Musical Artist's Course have been completed and are announced accordingly by the Bellingham Women's Music Club and the' Bellingham State Normal, the sponsors of the course. Ignatze Friedman, world-famous pianist and composer, will open this winter's series of concerts. Mr. Friedman enjoys an enviable reputation in well informed musical centers and is certain to prove a rare treat to all music lovers on December 11, the night of his performance. Zimbalist Booked The second artist scheduled is t he violin virtuoso, Efrem Zimbalist who will be here on January 27. Having played in nearly every city in the world and soloed with nearly every symphony orchestra of importance, Mr. Zimbalist is well prepared to give a truly outstanding performance in his eighteenth annual tour since his American debut. Owner of one of the finest collections of violins in existence, including the famous "Titian Stradivar-ius", he commands perhaps the most beautiful tone to be heard today. He is assured of a capacity* audience at his recital. Band to Play On January 29, two days later the famous Carleton Symphony Band from Carleton College, Northfield, Minnesota, conducted by- James Robert Gillette is scheduled. Judging from advance press notices Mr. Gillette has achieved something r e markably different in the music world by his combination of the full rich timbre of the symphony orchestra with the brilliancy of the band. He has given the ideals of liis organization as seeking to give, the band a refinement as delicate as the finest orchestra; to produce the program full of musical interest; and to completely change the popular idea regarding bands and band music. That he has succeeded, is well evidenced by the constantly increasing size of his annual tour. Copella Choir Coming The Smallman Copella choir will be here on February 20. The founder'and conductor of this choir John A. Smallman, of Los .Angeles has done a distinguished piece of (Continued on Page Four) Campus to be Gay For Home Comers Homecoming plans are developing rapidly, according to Dorothy Sasse, assistant to Joe Hermsen, manager of this year's Homecoming. There will be extensive campus decorations to attract the eye of Homecoming students coming back for a day's visit at their Alma Mater, and for the Armory, the scene of the big Homecoming dance. Committee Heads Committee heads chosen are: Ethel Boynton, lunch; Mariette Bergeron, dance; Johnny Nostrand, football game. The bonfire will be in charge of the frosh. Freshmen have already begun to save their waste paper to add to the blaze. o—: VAN VLIET TO GOME TO NEXT ASSEMBLY Solo Celloist to Present Concert Tuesday; Ellen Reep, Contralto, Will Come Friday, with Pianist. # . — • — — .

Someone said, "Repetition is good for the soul". Or, if no one said it, someone should have. Therefore, again we take the opportunity to say, "Why stand around at Rec Hour when The Jay Curtis Orchestra is playing for your special benefit?" When I go into the big gym between 4 and 5 o'clock on the Friday afternoon I am reminded of a stage performance, with the floor as a stage and the audience packed into the doorway. Someone else said, "All the world's a stage but most of us are only stage hands". Let's not be stage hands, let's get into the act. —L. D. YEA, V I K I N G S! Be as it may, it sems that Normal is destined to have a little pep whether they like it or not. For several years the noise made at Viking football games and so forth has been noticeably punk. However, last Saturday's performance by the Normal rooting section was "good for sore ears". Maybe the incoming frosh have brought a lot of pep from their former alma mater. Anyway, stock in Viking yells went up 100 % after last Saturday and is still going strong. Come on, Normal, let's get behind Jack and Lyle, and "We'll do or die for dear old Bellingham". —J. R. A G R E A T M O M E N T IN H I S T O RY The old saying that "one must die to become famous", was emphatically disproved last Monday, when the whole world paused to pay tribute to Thomas A. Edison on the fiftieth anniversary of his invention of the incandescent light. Other living scientists who were honored were Madame Marie Curie, discoverer of radium, and Professor Albert Einstein of Germany. T o those of us who "listened in", the event was most thrilling, inasmuch as we were invited to share the party: to hear the music of Henry Ford's old time orchestra as they played Edison's favorite tunes; to hear the voices of the distinguished guests and to feel the enjoyment of the great inventor himself, as he spoke to his world audience. To these great scientists we owe the opportunity we had of actually participating in one of the "great moments in history". Preparations have already started for Homecoming, the annual event in the fall quarter. According to recent investigation the affair promises to be the most gladsome celebration in years. N Some of the Frosh are worried ahjout that event. H ere is an autthhee n tic incident that happened last Tuesday. Picning up a VlKING, the Freshman noticed Jthe word "Homecoming" printed after the Ellensburg game scheduled here for November 16. "Why", he questioned, "should it be home coming—they play here, don't they?" It is amusing to most of us, but maybe the'word is a puzzle to the Freshmen. Homecoming? It is that time of the year reserved for our alumni to "come home"—back to Normal to renew acquainances and receive warm welcomes. It's a time we all make merry with the big football game, and the Homecoming dance at the Armory. The organized houses compete for the best decorative effects and there is a big banquet given for the alumni. It is one of our peppiest times at Normal, that holds simple sentiments .and welcomes for our grads when they "Come Home", y - ' ' I am still old-fashioned enough to believe that it is the professors Jtnat make a college great. And yet, how rare is a great teacher. I do not remember what any of my old teachers taught me. I only remember -their personalities. It is personality and character that count, in a professor and not the knowledge on tap".—Hamilton Holt, president Rol-jhas College. , ' | "Wisdom is in knowing what to do next, skill is knowing how to do iit; and virtue, is doing it".—David Starr Jordon.

You are pests! You have no thought of being helpful; that isn't your motive, you hope the next fellow will think you are smart. Let the other fellow get the material for himself to suit himself. You did Instead of your underscoring there to sway him let him have the clear page to work on. You had.

R. o Song Contest Offers Several Cash Prizes IFFLE By BARNEY (Continued from Page One) committee, and in explanation of the contest rules, Miss Dyer brought out the following points: The school song contest is open to all students of the Normal school, and all alumni. The pui'pose of the contest is to obtain two, and if possible, three, desirable songs for the school. The need for such songs is becoming more and more urgent, as the school songs now in use are direct plagiarisms of those of Cornell and Wisconsin. These songs, incidentally, are cribbecd by many high schools. In order to stimulate composition of words and music, entirely original and in keeping with the dignity and traditions of the school, the Board of Control will award three prizes, totalling seventy dollars, to the writers and composers of the winning numbers. The songs may be of the "loyalty" or the "pep" type, and the judges will not discriminate between the two kinds of songs, but will award the first prize to whatever song of either type seems to be the best. Since the best possible song for the school is desired, the contest element is not to be stressed, and students participating may obtain as much help from other sources as they desire. Collaboration among students is encouraged, and faculty people have expressed a desire to be of any possible help. Since some people have expressed a wish to enter the contest with words, but have no training to fit them to compose the melody for their song, those people entering words only must have their material in by the last of November. These words will be published, without publishing the names of the writers, and those interested in writing music for them will be able to do so before the end of the contest in February. Names" of writers and composers will be withheld from the judges until after a decision is made. The prize money will be split equally between the word writers and melody writers. Composers wishing to write both words and music may turn in their songs any time before the final closing date in February. The songs may be of any length desired, and of any number' of verses desired. Until the return of Guy Spring-steel, chairman of the song contest committee words, or words and music should be addressed to Edith Dyer, in cafe of the Music department.

First on the bill is the tussle tomorrow between the Cheney Savages and the Vikings, at Cheney. Although the contest will not be of particular interest to Viking supporters, much excitement is probably stirred up by the Savages. They may have vision of repeating their victory of last year. Prom a, student's point of view the Carver-ites will give the Savages quite a surprise. Vikings Outclass St Martin's And Win VIKINGS TROUNCE ST. MARTIN'S TEAM Erickson, Cardwell, Stickney, Bu-rick, Sherman, Norman, and Tenoski Play an Outstanding Game. Washington Prepares For Oregon Contest by Secret Practices * * « John Cather, a tackle on the 1928 Viking team, is at the present time playing football for the Col lege of Paget Sound. "Bull", as he was called by his teammates, seems to have made a big hit with C. P, S. coaches and has one of the permanent births on the team. Did you notice that trick, play the St., Martin's team pulled Saturday? It looked somewhat bewildering, but herre is just whta happened. Tenos-ki tried a line buck, and then faked an injury, while his men line up on the ball. When they were ready, he got to his hands and knees as if he were trying to get up, and then snapped the ball back to Norman, half back, who tried an end run. It was lucky that some of the Vikings were wide-awake, or they might have made more than the nine yards they did make. The play had been good for twenty-five yards or more against other teams. * * * * The football classic "of the year will be played tomorrow when Stanford and U. S. C. mix in the Stanford Bowl at Palo Alto. These two teams are probably the strongest in the United States, and the exhibition they put on will be of interest to a great many more than the eighty-eight thousand who will see it. Neither team has been forced to "open up" yet, so just what they have up their sleeves is still in doubt. The people around here who saw U. S. C. play Washington, think the Trojans are unbeatable, but then "Pop" Warner has a flock of tricks that might easily win for the Stanford Cardinals. * * * * The football fans who have been using the "Scotch Bleachers" at Waldo Field must have received a shock last week when they found their view obstructed by a piece of burlap. A few of the "Scotchier" ones were even foolhardy enough to try to crash the gate in spite of the paddle squad. It is possible that a few might have gotten in, but it is positively known that most of them retired, when they found out that the paddle squad wielded their fists even more expertly than their paddles. In fact one of the "crashers" was carried out feet first, to attest the pugilistic ability of the squad. * * * *. The Vikings got off to a winning start in collegiate competition, last Saturday, when, they took the St. Martin Rangers into camp to the tune of 19 to 0... That is the right spirit, fellows, but -keep it up. * * * * WHO'S WHO! By He Who Knows . This week we will discuss Bill Osborn, a conscientious little fellow "who hails from Franklin High of Seattle. Last year, if you should have happened to walk into the dressing room you undoubtedly would have heard a half dozen men yell, "Hey, Bill! Get me a clean sweat shirt", or something to that effect. As assistant to Eddie Hunicut, Bill continued to act as servant to the different team members throughout the year. This year Bill worked up to being head manager of all the l^iktag teams. This isn't Bill's first ^ear of this kind of work. He acted manager for Franklin High for froSyears;;; v" Lead by "Chuck" Erickson, quarterback, the Bellingham Normal Vikings dashed up and down Waldo Field last Saturday to defeat the St. Martin Rangers 19 to 0, in a high class exhibition of football. The scoring started in the first quarter, when some nice gains by Cardwell and a pass from Erickson to Miller placed the ball on the four-yard line, from where successive line-bucks by Flowers and Erickson put the ball over. Shelton's kick on the try for point was wide. . Pass Scores The second score was made in the early part of the second quarter on a pass from Erickson to Mollan(/ a short pass over the goal line, Erickson had placed the ball in scoring territory when he ran back one of Norman's punts twenty yards to his opponents' ten-yard line. Shelton got off a beautiful place kick for the try for point. For the rest of the second quarter and the early part of the third, the teams battled evenly, but at about the middle of the third quarter the Vikings opened up an aerial attack' that the Rangers couldn't stop. Passes from Erickson to Sherman, Flowers, and Shelton placed the ball on St. Martin's two-yard line, from where Erickson bucked it over for the final score of the day. Shelton's kick failed. Quick Recovers The Vikings had another good chance to score when Quick, substitute center, pounced on a fumble by Bouldren on St. Martin's twenty-nine yard line. The chance was lost, however, when Norman intercepted Erickson's pass and raced forty-five yards to Bellingham's thirty-five yard line before he was brought down. It looked for a while as if he were away for a touchdown, but Erickson did some wonderful playing when he came up from behind and tackled him after eluding half a dozen St. Martin interference men. Critical Moments Even then it looked for a while as if the Rangers were going to score when a fifteen-yard penalty, and gains by Norman and' Mertis, gave them a first down on Bellingham's eight-yard line. At that critical moment Erickson again shone when he dropped on a St. Martin's fumble and then punted out of danger. . A few minutes later Bellingham got the ball on their own twenty-yard line when a Ranger pass over the goal line was incomplete, and a series of passes and end runs by Erickson placed the ball on St. Martin's ten-yard line. Then Bellingham lost the ball on another pass over the goal line and for the rest of the game neither side threatened to score. Erickson Stars Erickson was the Viking's big star while Cardwell also showed lots of class in the backfield. On the line, Stickney looked good at center, as did Miller, Mollan. arid Sherman at ends, and Brunstad at tackle. Tenoski and Norman were the big guns for St. Martin's, although neither one could get through the Vikings' line for big gains. Fraele, who played both in the back field and on the line, also looked good. The Rangers had a trick play in which the backfield man centered the ball on a fake injury from the proceeding play. The Vikings were too wide awake for them to make much yardage on it, however. The Line-ups Bellingham (19) St. Martin's (0) Secret practice is being held by the University of Oregon in preparation for the battle with the Washington Huskies at Seattle, tomorrow. * Eric Forsta is being groomed for the center position in the absence of George Stadleman, who had t he misfortune of breaking his ankle in the Idaho encounter. Baggy Drives Reserves Coach Bagshaw is driving his reserve backs hard and fast, desperately trying to find capable men to penetrate the Oregon defense. Baggy is also facing a grave situation of bolstering the line up at the wing berths. Walter Sahli, veteran end, was hurt very seriously in the fray at W. S. C, last week. He will abandon his moleskin for the season. Bill Snider, another letter-man and end,vwas hurt in the U. S. C. game. He has a 50-50 chance of seeing action. In the event that Bill cannot play an inexperienced end will be elected for the serious task of stopping Oregon's end runs. GREAT ENTHUSIASM FOR FALL SPORTS Intramural Ganies to Start soon; Coaches Will Pick Teams After Thanksgiving; Turnouts Large. It seems the dope is very much against the Huskies but they have been known to upset dope frequently. o . Vikings Meet Savages Tomorrow at Cheney The women s fall sports have record breaking turnouts this' year. The enthusiasm is noteworthy and all are faithful-in the practice turnouts. / Miss Mildred Jewell, who is coach for dancing and hockey, is pleased with the spirit and pep shown, and with the results the conscientous practicing has produced. 57 Girls Dance The 57 girls in the dance class have learned two athletic dances and are now striving to perfect the technique for clogging and t ap steps. After Thanksgiving an all-star team • will be picked by Miss Jewell. Few Hockey Champs There are compartively few experienced hockey players but the new girls are making splendid progress in learning the game. Alice Babcock, head of sport, and Ann Swanson, serve Miss Jewell as assistant coaches. W. A. A. Initiation to be Held in Big Gym; 25 New Members Join (Continued from Page One) men" carry no soft spots in their football hearts, and will strive hard to spoil, from Cheney's standpoint, the main cog in the celebration. As to the comparative strength of the two rival aggregations little can be said, and so far none of the usual dope gatherers have been willing J to risk their reputation by venturing forth with a prediction as to the outcome of the game. Both squads have made enviable records in their games so far this season and neith-. er will have their styles cramped by having players in the "old soldier squad" owing to no early season injuries. Another thing that keeps prophecies in the background is the oft-proven fact that in traditional games both teams play way oyer their heads. Thus early- games give no foundation for comparison before the "big" game. Volley-ball Peppy Volleyball has received the least attention of the sports, but the group interested are most enthusiastic and peppy. Miss Margery Horton feels that ' on the soccer field she has discovered -some' real players. The sophomores represent the majority of the large turnout. Intramural Games Intramural games will soon be under way in all t he sports and after Thanksgiving the coaches will pick their class teams.

WASHINGTON PHILOS SAIL SEAS TO BEGIN SEASON Event Was to be First Red Letter of Philomathean Calendar; Skiff Is Ably Commanded by Lock. "With a Yo Ho Ho and a bottle of White Rock," and other nautical expressions, forty and some odd Philo's put out to sea last Sunday morning from the Bellingham yacht Club dock, on the schooner Thetis, under full press of the canvas. The event inspired the first red letter on the Philomathe-on social calendar. The ship was navigated by Dr. Carl M. Erb, master, and Dr. Nelson Warren, Mate, while Frank Lock, maitre d'hotel, or whatever you call them on the rolling deep, took care of all arrangements. The boat, acording to one enthusiastic Philo sailoress, is equipped with a starboard, a port side, and all of the modern conveniences offered on the finest liners, and which left nothing undone for the roaring seamen. And as a matter of fact, the Thetis being one of the finest private yachts on the Pacific Coast, there was little that could have been addad to the enjoyment of the voyage.
